Again, just stating the obvious. Your threads are like a yoyo. In one thread you're trying to get pitty and in the next you're trying to get praise (not exact quotes here, but the gist of the threads): "I got a new puppy" ; "I'm getting rid of the puppy because it wasn't the right time" ; "I regret getting rid of that puppy, but I'm getting a new one" ; "look everyone, I got a new puppy anyway even though you thought it was a bad idea". (slap in the face)

If you aren't trying to get attention, then what are you trying to do?

No one is passing judgement here, no one is trying to make enemies, just simply expressing our opinions on Tina's actions and concern for the animals that she is trading like baseball cards. No she didn't take them to a shelter, but she has caused them a lot of unnecessary confusion by bouncing them around from home to home.

Thanks so much for sharing the pics. Ginger and Reggie are just as cute as ever and ohhhh boy, I am in love with that little puppy!! I must say you have chosen a fabulous name for her . Tori is a super duper cutie pie and I love that little face of hers!

Thankyou Robin!

I'm not going say anything else after this.

This is to everyone: I hate my past with my pets and I hate it more then anything. I want to change for my daughters so that is why it is going to stop now. I do not want to go back to my old ways ever!

It breaks my heart so much everytime I think about it. And I cry about it alot, they are always on my mind. Of course people don't understand that since they are not here with me.

I'm not very good with words either so I can't really say what is on my mind now. I wish that I could use words better.

I just want to get support for me to change is all.

Thanks for reading.

You've got it sweetie. You're going in the right direction now.

I'm not sure that you ever lost support, Tina. I know mine has always been with you. Good for you!!!!!! Hang in there, sweetie. You're going to be alright!!!!!

Aww Tori is soo cute!! The others are too Hehe


I'm really sick of all this arguing too. If you don't have anything positive to say, then just don't post!! All this fighting really doesn't get us anywhere.

I have been here long enough to know the "whole story" and really just can't understand why folks can't just ignore the threads if they don't agree with Tina's life style...there is not one thing you can say that will make a difference...so if you can't say something nice...what is the point of hurting her feelings?
I think everyone who posts pics would like a "little" attention..that is why we post..to show off our babies...to get a little feedback from fellow pet parents...

TINA...YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD OVER AND OVER...WE LOVE YOUR BABIES..WE LOVE THE PICS...YOU HAVE WAY MORE POSiTIVE THAN NEGATIVE..DO NOT LET IT BRING YOU DOWN. Focus on the people who have given you what you need..k?

With all due respect Candy, it's hard to enjoy the pics or ignore the thread when you know what the background is.

I enjoy all pictures! I'm a part of Golden Retriever Rescue and I have seen pictures of pups who have been abused. It breaks my heart. But then they are rescued and they smile again. Even dogs that are in a foster situation smile again! It's that wonderful unconditional love that they show time after time to us hard headed humans. Take a look again at that precious puppy and look at him as the precious bouncy fur kid he is and then maybe you can forget the past and enjoy the picture.

I believe all human beings have faults (including Tina) but I would like to think that she is sincere and wants to change. She has a better chance of success with our positive help than our negative condemnation (however justified we may feel we are in giving it). My grandmother use to teach me that you don't get bees with vinegar, you need to use honey. Although I never understood why I would want bees anyway... I did understand that people (just like dogs) respond to positive teaching more effectively than negative training.

Tina's life, yes.. but she's chosen to share it with us and given us the capability to question and comment. I hope those of you who are new or who haven't been here constantly through the years understand that the people showing concern or disagreeing with Tina's actions aren't bad people at all. They're worried for the lives of animals.. for Tina's sanity, and for her children and family.

Yes, Tina has chosen to share a part of her life with us. At this time, that part of her wanted to share the joy her puppy brings her. I also don't think anyone thinks those who disagree are bad people and I for one, full heartedly understand they are worried for the lives of animals in general. But at what point do we start to take a lesson from the animals we love so much??? They love unconditionally...even when we make mistakes (even to them).

I am willing to share Tina's joy of a new puppy with her and hopefully through my (and other's on the community) understanding and gentle encouragement, can help her to love the new pup through the rest of it's precious life. I'm willing to because others have been willing to forgive me for my short comings and to help me through the difficult times. That's what makes life precious and worth living! As I stated before... if I was perfect then I would expect others to be too BUT... Sadly, I am not.

you have to realize that it is hard for some of us to believe this? I think that you said something very similar when you adopted out Jake.

My heart just kind of sank when I saw Tori's pictures. She's beautiful, and she does look happy. I just hope she has a forever home with you, where all of her needs are fulfilled and she is very well cared for without you having to sacrifice other pets, or time with your family, or your own health.

I definitely hear where you're coming from, but some of us just can't stand by, turn our cheek, or suport a behavior which seems very wrong to us. Of course we can't judge her, but Tina herself has admitted to all of us that she couldn't handle any more pets. and I'm sorry, but it's very hard for me to believe that everything has "changed" that much in the past month that went from "I know I cannot handle another dog" to, "I can handle another dog". We can be concerned and choose to try to educate her, not doing so would mean we thought of her as a complete lost cause, and I don't think anyone here thinks that.

I am speechless.
Simply Speechless.
There is so much to say but it clearly isn't worth it.

Tori is adorable and I wish you all the best and will keep my fingers crossed for everyone.
